Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

……

Since Mizuki Yoru took over, the alarm that had never sounded before echoed throughout Kirigakure, and it was the highest level alarm, which meant that the intruder's strength had reached 'S' rank (captain level)!

The two important locations in Kirigakure, the Kirigakure Duel Tower and the Mizukage's Office, were simultaneously attacked by Hollows, attracting the vast majority of Kirigakure's guards.

Especially for Menos Grande like Adjuchas, unless a Captain-level being intervenes, ordinary Shinigami cannot pose a threat to them, let alone ninjas.

"The invaders are a hoax. The Seireitei has taken over. The Anbu and ninjas are doing everything they can to cover the civilians' evacuation and protect their lives and property!"

"Yes!"

Merchants and civilians on the streets rushed toward the shelter. Countless figures from the shadows moved through the streets, protecting the people. Among them were extremely well-hidden Grim Reapers, who were undetectable to ordinary people.

However, there was one place where the scene was rather peculiar and strange.

"Dude, the village is under invasion right now! You want us to cover the civilians' evacuation instead of fighting?!"

At the Kaguya clan's ancestral home, several Kaguya clan Jonin surrounded the Shinigami who had come to deliver a message, their faces full of displeasure: "What are you Shinigami up to? Such a good thing... ugh, such a matter concerning the safety of the village, how can our Kaguya clan sit idly by!"

"That's right, we haven't had a proper fight in years... Oh, whether you're a Grim Reaper or a ninja, we're all part of the village. Why can you guys go up but we can't?"

"Are you looking down on us Kaguya clan, kid? I remember you're from the Momochi clan, right?"

"Get out of the way! We're going to fight... We need to protect the village!"

The battle maniacs of the Kaguya clan shouted loudly, their hands itching with excitement.

As Kirigakure has grown stronger, fewer and fewer people dare to provoke them. Even in A-rank missions that might have previously posed a life-threatening risk, if an attacker is attacked during the mission, they will immediately turn around and run away without hesitation once they learn that Kirigakure is protecting them.

This result improved Kirigakure's reputation in the ninja world, with a near 100% mission completion rate and a constant stream of daily requests. The ninjas who accepted these missions were happy with the outcome.

But for Kaguya and her group of battle maniacs, it felt like the sky had fallen.

Damn it, there's nowhere to fight anymore!

Aside from the Fog Shadow Duel Tower, there's nowhere else in a harmonious Fog Shadow where they can vent their excess energy. Moreover, the Fog Shadow Duel Tower has an 'anti-addiction mode' that prevents prolonged battles.

It can be said that although Kirigakure has been thriving in recent years, the Kaguya clan has been feeling quite stifled.

Now that I finally have a chance to fight, you damn Grim Reapers are stopping me from going?!

"No, everyone, the higher-ups have already identified the intruder as a fake. Your expertise is not relevant to this."

"What do you mean by 'matching' or 'not matching'? Don't think that only you Shinigami can fight Hollows. We also obtained spiritual power from Miroku, okay!"

"Exactly, exactly. If I punch you guys, I'll blow up any weaklings. Can you even do that?"

"Stop dawdling, I'm going to fight, oops, I'm going to protect the village."

The Grim Reaper who came to deliver the message was having a headache. These battle maniacs were really troublesome. Why was it that he was the one who received this mission?

"What happened?"

"Nothing much, just waiting... Lord Kimimaro?!"

A timid voice rang out, and the Jonin of the Kaguya clan, who were initially annoyed and impatient and eager for battle, turned their heads and immediately showed respectful expressions. The Shinigami was also stunned for a moment, and then looked at the newcomer with a joyful expression as if he had seen a savior.

The newcomer looked to be about five or six years old, dressed in white, with two red dots between his eyebrows, and his pure white hair was tied back. He had an exceptionally handsome appearance.

"What happened, Da Lu?"

Clearly, the Kaguya clan patriarch, on whom the Kaguya clan places high hopes, a strong contender for the future Fifth Mizukage, and the most outstanding genius in the Kaguya clan's thousand-year history, Kaguya Kimimaro spoke softly.

"The village has been invaded, and we are about to go protect it, Lord Kimimaro!" Kaguya Dairo scratched his head and said somewhat guiltily.

"No, Lord Kimimaro, the intruders have been confirmed to be Hollows. The Mizukage's office has been instructed to hand over control to the Seireitei. All ninjas are to prioritize protecting civilians, their property, and their lives, therefore..."

As the group conversed, a distorted space appeared on one side of them.

The crimson three-tomoe Sharingan gazed at the handsome young boy as if he had seen some rare treasure, the longing in its eyes impossible to conceal!

"I've found you, Kaguya Kimimaro!"

Chapter 228 I am Kaguya Kimimaro, captain of the personal guard under Lord Kaguya, codename [M] Miracle!

The Jonin of the Kaguya clan argued incessantly with the Shinigami who had come to deliver the message, trying to persuade Kimimaro to support them in setting off to fight and have some fun.

Kimimaro listened quietly without revealing his emotions. Compared to the other Kaguya clan members who were preoccupied with battle, this young boy's desire for battle seemed less pronounced. He tended to think about problems from multiple perspectives.

This is why Kimimaro was directly appointed as the clan leader by the elders of the Kaguya clan.

Kimimaro was trained from a young age to think from the perspective of a 'clan leader', thus developing greater magnanimity and a better chance of seizing the position of the fifth patriarch.

"If the Mizukage's office intends for the Seireitei to take over, then we really shouldn't interfere too much."

After a long silence, Kimimaro slowly spoke. The Shinigami who had come to deliver the message looked pleased and gave Kimimaro a grateful look.

Several Kaguya Jonin hesitated, wanting to say something but ultimately could only exchange a glance and let out a helpless sigh.

“Go and protect the safety of the tribe’s territory, especially the merchants who cooperate with us and the civilians in the surrounding area.”

"Yes, Lord Kimimaro."

Although they were itching to do it, they naturally wouldn't refuse Kimimaro's order.

In the ninja world, orders from superiors are absolute, especially in Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).

The Jonin instantly departed, while the Shinigami bowed gratefully to Kimimaro before quickly leaving.

Having resolved the minor dispute between his clansmen and the Grim Reaper, Kimimaro strode back to his residence, knowing full well that this level of intrusion would soon be over.

But the moment he stepped into his room, the whole world suddenly began to spin, and in the distorted space, Kimimaro crashed heavily onto a desolate piece of land.

Despite this sudden encounter, Kaguya Kimimaro did not show any panic. Instead, she slammed her hands onto the ground, and countless dense white bone spurs burst out of her body!

The white bones were sharp, and a layer of light blue patterns appeared on their surface, making them look extremely eerie.

Corpse Bone Pulse - Bloodstained Armor - Dance of the Tang Pine!

"To achieve this level at such a young age, she truly deserves to be called the strongest genius of the Kaguya clan in a thousand years!"

Kaguya Kimimaro raised her head, her young and innocent face showing no sign of panic, her calm gaze fixed on the person she had captured, whose location she did not know.

"Space-time ninjutsu, huh? It seems you're the one who destroyed the barrier between Hueco Mundo and the village, causing this invasion."

"It wouldn't be considered an invasion, after all, those guys were raised by your Kage, weren't they?" Under the mask, Obito Uchiha looked at Kaguya Kimimaro's unexpectedly calm and youthful face, his brows furrowed slightly, and said in a low voice, "A biological weapon without any thought process, it seems that your Kage have a terrifying ambition to devour this world."

“Everyone has ambition, but Lord Ye’s magnanimity is far beyond what this ninja world can limit.”

Kaguya Kimimaro shook her head, glanced around, and looked again at the masked man who had been rambling on with her. She already knew what was going on: "Your target... is me?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Obito sneered, the blood-red three-tomoe gems in his eye sockets spinning continuously, and the genjutsu he had been preparing for was activated in an instant.

Surprisingly, Kimimaro's eyes remained calm, showing no signs of being trapped in the illusion. His serene gaze was like a still, deep well, making it hard to believe that such a gaze could be found in an ordinary six-year-old boy.

This situation caused Obito's gaze to suddenly sharpen.

“The Kaguya clan’s Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) does not have the ability to resist genjutsu. Even if it did, it would be something you at your age could never do.” Obito’s gaze moved from Kimimaro’s youthful face to the left side of his neck below his cheek.

There, there is a special star-cross mark that emits a pale blue light.

"This mark... is it Minazuki Yoru's trump card?"

Obito was familiar with this mark. With the spread of Quincy, he had seen it in many places, but the one that impressed him the most was the time when Kumogakure cooperated with him to steal the Hyuga Byakugan.

This mark also appeared on the daughter of Hyuga Hiashi!

I initially thought that brand was just an ordinary mark, but now it seems...

"The child chosen by Minazuki Yoru."

Even if Obito was slow-witted or stupid, he should have figured out Minazuki Yoru's plan. But what he looked forward to even more was how wonderful it would be if he could turn this genius boy chosen by Minazuki Yoru into one of the sacrifices for his transformation from mortal to immortal!

Obito quickly formed hand seals. Since his eye power was ineffective, he would forcibly bind and seal it!

A black chain of runes made purely of chakra suddenly shot out from the particle cubes of the surrounding Kamui space, heading straight for Kimimaro and tightly binding his limbs and neck.

The Divine Might Space is very special; although it is kept within the space, it can still be considered a constraint.

But if this kid isn't kept in check, he'll inevitably run around.

This space contains a large amount of his stored supplies, including Sharingan, various bloodline specimens, and secret technique scrolls.

If this kid is allowed to run around recklessly and accidentally destroys these things, then Obito will have nowhere to turn to for help.

The chakra shackles attacked and bound him. Kimimaro frowned slightly and subconsciously tugged at the shackles, only to find that he could not move them at all.

These black chakra shackles binding him not only tightly restricted his body, but also suppressed his spiritual power to a certain extent.

"Don't waste your efforts."

Obito Uchiha sneered, looking down at Kimimaro: "I don't know what kind of power Mizuki Yoru has given you, but no matter what power it is, you can't break free from my restraints."

"You'll just obediently become my living sacrifice on my path to transcendence!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito Uchiha's right Mangekyou Sharingan snapped open, and the shackles binding Kimimaro tightened even further.

After doing all this, Obito prepared to leave the Kamui dimension, but the next moment, what happened in front of him caused his face, which was covered by the mask, to reveal an expression of extreme terror.

The shackles that had been binding Kaguya Kimimaro so tightly suddenly shattered.

No, it's less a break from the constraints and more a transformation.

Like a cicada shedding its shell, all the restraints and shackles became completely ineffective in that instant. Kaguya Kimimaro looked at Obito calmly, as if nothing had happened.

Then, we set off!

"Dance of Karamatsu!"

The bone spurs that were already all over his body became even more abundant and sharp at this moment, and Kimimaro's thin body began to rotate gently as if he were dancing.

The sharp, pointed bone spikes, like the most elegant weapons, attacked Obito from the most cunning angles.

Obito's eyes turned cold.

Illusion was ineffective, and Kamui could not be activated within the Kamui dimension. In order to perform a human sacrifice, he could not use any overly powerful techniques on Kimimaro.

That being the case...

"The Thorn Technique!"

Obito clasped his hands together, and countless wooden spikes attacked Kimimaro.

呲la.

The dense wooden spikes touched the bone spikes and were easily broken through. Kimimaro continued his attack on Obito with undiminished momentum.

Obito frowned as he engaged in a physical fight with Kimimaro. Between punches and kicks, his palm broke through the black rod and pierced through the gap in Kimimaro's joint bone spurs, pinning him firmly to the ground.

At the same time, a wooden spear shot out from his other hand, piercing through Kimimaro's other hand.

The image of Jesus' death!

In just one exchange, Kimimaro's hands were completely crippled by Obito.

"That's just a child's game."

Obito's expression remained calm. Even if this brat possessed the strange power bestowed upon him by Mizuki Yoru, he was still just a child.

This kind of childish fighting is simply laughable.

Suddenly, Obito noticed Kimimaro's expression through the Sharingan's powerful perception.

calm.

Why is it so calm?

A six-year-old boy, in a foreign land, had his hands crippled, yet he didn't cry or make a fuss; instead, his eyes were filled with calm.

A strange feeling arose in Obito's heart, and then an extremely bizarre scene appeared before his eyes.

A faint blue light emanated from Kimimaro's body, whose hands had been crippled and who was nailed to the ground. His figure reappeared before Obito unharmed.

As the ten fingers are raised, white bones fly out.

"Ten fingers piercing a bullet!"

With a slightly immature shout, ten white bone projectiles, like bullets, shot out and rushed towards Obito. Obito's Sharingan spun, easily catching the trace of the bone projectiles, and his black rod sliced ​​through them, effortlessly blocking them.

At the same time, trees sprouted from his palms, their thorns growing wildly and erratically, almost instantly becoming towering trees, which then swept backwards towards Kimimaro's location.

Kimimaro was unable to react at all, as he was blocked by the towering tree, but in the next breath, Kimimaro's figure reappeared!

Unscathed!
